July 2017 - TS Emily West of Tampa

[Texaspirate11]

Got caught in a thunderstorm over Galveston Bay today in my boat!
Lightning was so intense - got home
3 inches of rain at the home.
Good times.
Worse things do happen at sea

[MontgomeryCoWx]

Another 1.2 inches so far today with more on the way.

2.5 inches this week!

getting sparky here

love the rain though !

I see the Houston and points south cap is holding strong. Can't get anything going to water my scorched yard.

Outflow boundaries on their way after a cap busting 97°F. We're surrounded by storms in CLL. Just a few cooling sprinkles and breeze from an array of outflows, with a lighting display between here an Navasota last hour. We might get a few tenths.

Storms holding together in NW and northern Harris Co now. Another wave hitting Navasota and moving south. Could be and has been worse.

Another 1.2 inches so far today with more on the way.

2.5 inches this week!

Congrats! We've had just enough - 0.7 in so far to keep the sprinklers on stun. Fingers crossed that the death ridge doesn't settle in for the next few weeks, as the models seem to think. We'll play it week by week, and this week appears to be more of the same.

wasn't expecting much, but it's not quitting any time soon - over 1.5" already

no watering tomorrow !

[DoctorMu]

I haven't had any rain all week, and it's all missing me again today, by just a few miles. Can't catch a break now.

You might get clobbered about...






...Now

[srainhoutx]

It's been storming for an hour and a half at my Casa. Will empty the rain gauge tomorrow morning, but easily 2-3 inches I suspect.

.UPDATE...
Convection that has consolidated south and parallel to Spring
Creek is slowly beginning to show signs of weakening as its
associated outflow boundary races through the city at the top of
the 9 PM hour. If this activity follows the rules...then expect
this overall line to weaken as it moves into metro but still drop
another (less than an) inch or two more of rain across northern
and central Harris and southern Liberty Counties through 10-11 PM.
Short range models have early Monday morning showers/storms
festering in Galveston Bay's vicinity and points eastward (maybe
focusing on remnants of the tonight's outflow?). Either way...
anticipating another late morning through early evening round of
clustering convection to fill in the radar screen Monday. 31

And with that southward racing outflow boundary, the faucet is turning off. Doubt Brazoria county gets a single drop.

[MontgomeryCoWx]

Officially 3 inches for he week and still coming down... I could do this every week from now until late September

[Katdaddy]

A 50% of more scattered slow moving showers and thunderstorms. Some areas will see locally heavy rains where the storms merge as we saw yesterday. Already seeing showers and thunderstorms N of the Houston area this morning.

[srainhoutx]

Just emptied 3.21 inches of rain out of the rain gauge with last night's storm complex.

[redneckweather]

It hasn't stopped raining at my house just south of Lake Conroe Dam since 6:30 last night according to my Ol Man who lives 100 yards from me. Wow! Radar is lit up right over my house right now. I'm in Georgia and won't be home till Friday. I'm sure I will come home to a tropical rain forest.

[MontgomeryCoWx]

6.8 inches of rain and still coming down in Magnolia! We have just about doubled up average July rainfall on July 10th!

[jasons2k]

What a nice surprise! 2.07" so far today at the casa. Plants and lawn are happy again!

[Cromagnum]

Thunderstorms everywhere but my area again. Huge thunderstorm formed about 5 min east of us and kept trucking east. Sucks.

[srainhoutx]

The 12Z ECMWF suggests a vort max associated with the remnants of 94L may be worth monitoring as we head toward the weekend.

[brooksgarner]

We were remarking at that too... Hey, stranger things have happened. The surface MSLP progs even show strengthening of low pressure **after** it makes, "landfall" (should something form out of the remnants of TD 4) Sunday... maybe strengthening Monday or Tuesday with some, "brown ocean effect".https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_ocean_effect

We're concerned more with the GFS's solutions of that tropical wave behind TD4...

Hope all are well! See you on the TV side.
